Bob Wills and George Strait notwithstanding, I have to say mine is from a notable Californian…
Been working every day since I was 20… Haven’t got a thing to show for anything I’ve done…
There’s folks who never work and they’ve got plenty…
It’s time some guys like me had some fun.

Damn, I used to love to see Big Red and Asleep at the Wheel in BR in the 80's. In retrospect it had a really good music scene though none of us believed that at the time.

There are some precursors to the Milton Brown era (my first thought when it comes to western swing) where a few regional hotel bands have a hint of western swing in them, if one listens very closely, like Phil Baxter's "Down Where the Blue Bonnets Grow" and "I Ain't Got No Gal Now," both recorded for Victor in Dallas in 1929. Maybe even with Lloyd Finley and his Orch, who recorded "Fiddlin' Blues" in Houston in 1925 from another Victor field recording. I have an original copy of both records, and give them a spin every now and then.
